WTB: Vacuum Variable Capacitor

Anyone have an unneeded Vacuum Variable Capacitor that they’d be willing to part with at a decent price?

I’m looking for one for an antenna project. I’ve seen some “Russian Military Surplus” ones covering 25 -400 pF at various voltage/power levels, over on the auction site, but who knows what you’re really buying?

Prices for them here are quite high, certainly the higher voltage/capacity ones, 25th of may we have a large ham sale here, will have a look there with the Russians that come every year there to sell their stuff.
